How is it diagnosed Mesothelioma?
Mesothelioma is diagnosed through X-ray, physical check up, and biopsy. The initial step is to have a chest X-ray before you go to the doctor so that you will have something for him to look at aside from the initial check-up. If the X-ray seems to indicate significant scarring or possible cancer, a biopsy is performed. The biopsy is usually performed in the hospital, using a special needle to remove some of the questionable tissue for testing and examination. These test results will either rule out or confirm the presence of cancer. Make sure you have an annual check-up and exam, especially if you have been exposed to asbestos earlier in life.
